    To activate Windows 7 on PCs with UEFI, we have 5 available options:
    • Opt for TSforge, since it can activate every possible SKU, as well as ESU license packages - all without any dependency on the underlying platform.
    or
    or
    • Use WindSLIC; it acts exactly like Daz's loader, but requires some prior knowledge from users. EzWindSLIC, a user-friendly wrapper around WindSLIC, can also be used.
    or
    • Install/upgrade/downgrade to Professional or Enterprise SKU & activate using any KMS emulator like KMS_VL_ALL by @abbodi1406. Keep in mind that in some rare cases, a SLIC modded BIOS is necessary to support KMS activation.
    or
    • Turn on CSM/Legacy booting in your UEFI firmware settings & format your HDD in MBR style. Then install Windows & activate by Windows Loader by Daz. Refer to your motherboard manual & the enclosed readme of Windows Loader.
    For activation solution comparison & SKU support, please read this thread carefully.

    Please post a proper MGADIAG report & RW-Everything report when asking for any guidance.
